This is a little off putting for me at the moment, I haven't played with
journalling FS, my /var is a separate partition so I guess I could do
this. Can live ext2 be converted to Journalling FS ok (taking necessary
backup precautions in case of problems obviously).  Is Resiser FS ok to
go with now or is there another I should be looking at?  Didn't SGI
release theirs?

I'm using Debian, will do a search on Google to check if there are any
issues with this.

Dave thanks for all the useful information really appreciated.

Steve.
